Beskrivning
Physical Chemistry at the Intersection of Combustion and Atmospheric Sciences provides the first detailed exploration of overlapping scientific problems in physical chemistry within the domains of combustion and atmospheric chemistry. Specific problems addressed in this book include detailing the current state of knowledge and future research needs on topics, such as the role of organic hydroperoxide reactivity in both atmospheric chemistry and combustion, the importance of peroxy radicals produced in biofuel and hydrocarbon combustion that control chain-branching, and in tropospheric chemistry, affect OH-budgeting and the formation of aerosols that impact air quality.

Significant attention is also paid to the influence of functional groups on combustion reaction mechanisms as well as downstream effects on gas-phase chemical reactions in atmosphere. Specifically, problems connecting gas-phase reactions of functionalized organic molecules present in combustion emissions to secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation are addressed. In addition, remaining challenges in understanding the subsequent physical and chemical processes involving SOA will be addressed. It is written primarily for research staff scientists, R&D personnel (laboratory and industry), graduate students, and professors in the fields of physical chemistry, atmospheric science, and chemical engineering.

  • Identifies the overlapping areas of scientific inquiry in combustion and atmospheric chemistry rooted in physical chemistry
  • Provides the background for the different experimental and theoretical methods, describing the expected emission by-products of combustion and connecting those emission products to key aspects of atmospheric chemistry, whilst highlighting the common fundamentals
  • Tackles the following questions: What gas-phase molecules produced from combustion are important to include in atmospheric chemistry? What is the role of combustion-generated aerosols in tropospheric physical/chemical processes?, and much more

Mer om författaren

Brandon Rotavera is an Associate Professor at the University of Georgia, USA with joint appointments in the Department of Chemistry and the College of Engineering. Prior to arriving at the University of Georgia in 2016, Dr. Rotavera held a Postdoctoral Appointee position at the Combustion Research Facility of Sandia National Laboratories, USA after completing a Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Engineering from Texas A&M University, USA in 2012, focusing on Physical Chemistry and Mechanical Engineering. Dr. Rotavera is a recipient of the NSF CAREER award, the Irvin Glassman Early Career Award (Combustion Institute), and the Fred C. Davison Early Career Scholar Award (University of Georgia). Dr. Rotavera leads a research group at the University of Georgia focused on fundamental studies of gas-phase chemical kinetics related to combustion and atmospheric science, with emphasis placed on oxidation mechanisms of advanced biofuels and atmospheric pollutant formation, using combined experimental and computational methodologies.He serves on the editorial board of the Journal of Molecular Spectroscopy and is a member of the Technical Committee on Measurements of Energy and Related Quantities within the International Measurement Confederation, as well as an executive board member of the Eastern States Section of the Combustion Institute, co-organizer of the International Workshop on Flame Chemistry, and a member of the Scientific Advisory Group for the UV/Vis+ Photochemistry Database.
